| Hong Kong Shipping Register wins good reputation | ||
|
||
| The Hong Kong Shipping Register's(HKSR) world
class reputation for excellent quality and services was re-affirmed
during a number of maritime occasions, including the Posidonia
2002 International Shipping Exhibition concluded recently in Greece
and the exchange meetings held between Hong Kong and Mainland
shipping companies. During these occasions, keen interest was expressed by both the foreign and Mainland shipowners in the advantages, procedures and services of the Register. The Marine Department officials, including both chiefs, Director of Marine Tsui Shung-yiu and Deputy Director of Marine Tsang Man-ching, took the opportunities by leading respective teams to promote the HKSR in these events. The Director of Marine, Mr Tsui Shung-yiu, led a four-member team as part of a high-level delegation to the Posidonia 2002 International Shipping Exhibition in June. The team met various shipowners and updated them on the attractiveness of the HKSR after its re-engineering three years ago. During the previous months, both Mr Tsui and the Deputy Director of Marine, Mr Tsang Man-ching, led respective teams and took part in a number of liaison meetings with the Mainland shipowners. The teams, while briefing the Mainland shipping companies on details of the HKSR, also exchanged views with them on the further advancement of the Register. The HKSR has continued to attract top quality tonnage, as evidenced by the growing gross tonnage (GT) in the last few years, from 6.3 million GT in 1999 to the present level of 14.8 million GT. The Register is expected to cross the 15 million GT mark by the end of this year. More details on the above news are available in the ninth issue of Hong Kong Maritime News. Other stories covered in the issue include recognition given to the Marine Department by the trades for crackdown on illegal marine operations and Marine Department's assistance to Malaysia in port state control training. The Hong Kong Maritime News is accessible through the Marine Department's website at http://www.gov.hk/mardep. Sunday, June 30, 2002 |
